George and Cindy Anthony’s attorney sounds off about protesters 2:11 p.m. Attorney Mark NeJame is out of town this afternoon but talked to the Orlando Sentinel about the protestors harrassing his client.

“I have been extreme patient on their behalf attempting to allow our legal system to work. However, it is escalating to unacceptable and dangerous levels,” Mark NeJame said when he was reached by phone. “A peaceful protest even if misguided – is protected under our Constitution. However, this has evolved into mob mentality and some individuals are now terrorizing George and Cindy.”

“There is no rational basis for coming onto another person’s’ property banging at their house, throwing objects at the house and manhandling and accosting George and Cindy Anthony at 2 o’clock in the morning,” he said. “This band of lawless instigators obviously cares nothing about justice as they are attempting to take the law into their own hands.”

He said the public needs to let law enforcement and the court system address Casey Anthony. “Her parents need to be left alone,” NeJame said.

When he returns to Orlando, he plans to meet with law enforcement officials Friday to talk about various issues, including the protesters.

“I have been contact with law enforcement who are very sensitive and aware of the situation,” he said.

Sheriff’s office releases 911 calls made during confrontation
1:33 p.m. In the first call placed shortly after midnight, Cindy Anthony tells the 911 operator that there are more than a dozen protesters gathered outside their home and throwing things at the house. She tells the operator that deputies need to get there before “something happens.”

At 1:30 a.m., Casey Anthony calls the sheriff’s office and tells the operator that the protesters returned to the house and that “they are banging on our garage door.”

She tells the dispatch operator that “It’s getting physical right now…This needs to get taken care of immediately,” Casey said. “Both of my parents were hit by two of the protestors.”

She also said, “This can’t keep happening. These are the same punks that are out here all night throwing stuff at our house.”

Both Casey Anthony and her mother can be heard saying that WESH-Channel 2 has video of the fight outside their home. Casey Anthony also told the dispatch operator that their home surveillance cameras captured the fight.

Sheriff’s deputies ready to increase presence in Anthonys’ neighborhood
12:48 p.m. Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jim Solomons said deputies are “making adjustments” to the way they handle calls to the east Orange County neighborhood.

“We are making adjustments in our regular patrol function to what appears to be an escalating situation in that community,” Solomons said of the violent confrontation that erupted this morning between the Anthonys and a handful of hecklers.

“This is just nonsense,” Solomons said. “I urge everyone to never confront assailants.”
